How long into your relationship did you say "I love you"?

When you know that you mean it. Different people are ready at different times.

For me I generally know fairly early on if I am falling for someone it is all a question of chemistry once I have got to that stage I cannot hold it in and have to say.

An example, met my partner on the internet and we exchanged emails for a few days, then we exchanged phone calls for a few more days, then we met and spent about 4 hours together just chatting.

It was later that week I knew that this was love and I told her and she reciprocated.

We have been together as much as we could since and very much enjoying ourselves and each other.

Some time after you feel it and after you know it. Nurture your feelings a bit while the relationship matures and ripens a bit.
Also, know thyself. If you have said "I love you" before, what it at early stages? Did the relationship pan out? Maybe you were a tad impulsive.

Or, if this is your first feelings of this nature, so be it and I am happy that you feel this way toward another. It would mean more to me to hear it once we have gotten to know each other, rather than on a first date, perhaps. I may or may not have the same feelings for you at the time. Baby steps and I think you will find when the right time comes along.

When you say it, really mean it, from the heart and soul. Good luck.

What you are asking is, how long should I not tell him/her I love him/her. You’re speaking from the scared side of the wall. Remember, confrontation is cleansing. You should tell him/her you love him/her just as soon as you feel it is a true statement. If s/he does not reciprocate, move on. That is the beauty of being direct…you learn sooner, and can move on sooner. Cut and dried.

It is really up to you and you'll know it when you feel it.

Some people just say it at times when they don't mean it, I doubt they know the true meaning of love.

Don't worry hun, you'll realise as soon as the time comes, and your partner will appreciate it.
